Bill Summary <br /> Tax Bill <br /> It's a shocker. <br /> The Senate has adopted a property tax freeze amendment for 1997 and after more debate, the <br /> Senate adopted the entire revised omnibus tax bill. Both the Senate bill and the associated House <br /> bill will now go to the conference committee to resolve differences. Essentially this means that <br /> cities, counties, townships sand special taxing districts would have their levy frozen at the 1996 <br /> level. This freeze would then be followed in 1998 by a new levy limit to prevent a rebounding <br /> effect in property taxes. There are many"issues" in relation to these bills, I'll keep you up-dated. <br /> Omnibus game and fish bill <br /> Under HF2799/SF24-45*a person would no longer have to feel guilty after a fishing expedition <br /> with the kids... one of the provisions includes it no longer being a crime to put a sunfish in your <br /> home aquarium. Did you know currently it's a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail <br /> and a $700 fine? But beware, there are all sorts of exceptions to this bill change. <br /> Dawn <br /> ******************** <br /> TUG <br /> Thursday, March 14, 1996 I attended at TUG meeting at the Plymouth Public Safety Building. Al <br /> Olson from the Bureau of Mediation Services discussed"Interest Based Collective Bargaining." <br /> Interest Based Collective Bargaining (IBCB) is the newest of the services offered by BMS. IBCB <br /> is an alternative to "traditional" bargaining. The alternative method uses issues, interests, options <br /> and standards in contrast to traditional bargaining which focuses on labor and management <br /> positions to achieve settlements. <br /> RECYCLING UPDATE <br /> As stated in the City Newsletter, Spring Clean Up day is scheduled for May 18, 1996. The City <br /> will continue to retain the services of Twin City Refuse, in cooperation with Krupenny& Sons for <br /> the Annual Spring Clean Up Day. A flyer will be distributed mid April to provide additional <br /> information such as fees, acceptable materials, hours of operation, etc. To further promote Spring <br /> Clean Up Day, information will be on the Cable channel. <br /> Lynnette <br />
